New hardware for server, can no longer catch up
Posted: Thu Apr 29, 2021 3:29 pm
Hi all,
I've just bought a new server so me and a few friends could make a bigger factory in Factorio without any slowdowns. Previously we could connect and play fine, but during/after an artillery strike things slowed down a bit, and we had some slowdowns when doing massive things with robots. Nothing major, but I wanted a smoother experience so got a newer server.
On the new server I can no longer catch up from my desktop gaming PC. The catchup bar just goes backwards and I can never connect. I've tried installing the Pause While Catching Up mod [1], but that doesn't seem to help. I've tried both running the game in the Docker container from Factoriotools, and as just the normal server (copied the full folder form the old, working server and ran it with the same command). Any ideas on what I can do? I've attached all the logs and the hardware of the computers involved.
I've also tested the network throughput from both servers with iperf, for both machines it's greater than 900mbit/s.
Old server:
Celeron G1610, 8GB RAM, Debian buster/unstable
New server:
i5 9600k, 32 GB RAM in a VM. If needed, up to 64GB available, Debian Bullseye
Client:
Ryzen 7 3700X, 32GB RAM, Debian Bullseye.
Thanks in advance for any help

EDIT: Forgot to add, all of this is on Factorio 1.1.32.
